True friendship is a gift that is given without expectation of anything in return. Instead the reward is the friendship itself!

True friendship isn't just one entity itself, it is a whole host of things that we use to measure who we are to others, and who others are to us. Those who your friends are people that you will WIN with, those you overcome with, those who you stick with when times get rough, and those who do the same for you.

Do not listen with the intent to reply, but with the intent to understand.

We all have a different set of experiences from which we draw from to help ourselves move in the present. When we see someone going through something that we may have already gone through ourselves we are often tempted to give advice drawing from our own experiences, and forget the simple fact that people just need someone to listen instead of being told what to do.

Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you never know who would love the person you hide.

Never stop being who you are, even if that means you may be misunderstood by most. Just because the majority of people don't understand you, doesn't mean that you're an outcast or anything of that nature. It just means you are so special that there are people out there who won't seek to understand you, but will instead show you hate because they don't want to understand, they'd rather just get by in life hoping to fit in.

Never give up on something you really want. It's difficult to wait, but it's more difficult to regret.

When a person with passion and a strong will sets out to do something it can be very frustrating when the results they set out to achieve aren't achieved in the time that they were aiming to complete them in.

Strong people always have their life in order. Even with tears in their eyes, They still manage to say "I am Okay", With a Smile.

In various seasons of our lives we have to learn how to push through life's pitfalls to get to where we truly desire to be. Letting life make you unhappy, letting a bad day make you frown, and letting people's negative opinions of you affect you, will not lead to many victories in your life.
